Revival Ch. 02

It had only been a few hours since Ethan had driven with Sunny on her bike to his truck at the park and ride. They'd spent the last three days hiding in her massive home, sometimes discussing business, other times indulging in carnal pleasures he'd only ever dreamed of with a woman. It wasn't that he wasn't experienced in the field. At his age he had lifetimes of experience. But with her? It was heightened on a level that was beyond compare. In those three days she'd completely submitted to him of her own will and he'd utterly reveled in the chance to dominate her at every turn. And she loved every bit of it.

They had kissed passionately once she'd parked at his truck before he got inside and they drove separate ways. Now he was in his office at the packhouse. They called it that, but really it was a massive stretch of private property with comfortable cabins that had been built in the woods. Ethan paced the floor as his Beta eyed him suspiciously. "What do you mean she has a wolf in her?" Pausing a moment he turned to face him and looked him dead in his eyes.

"I saw it Conner. I saw it in her eyes. She has one there and it is just bursting to come out. She needs to be introduced and quickly. Far quicker than I thought. Could you imagine? She lives in the middle of a fancy metropolis. What if I couldn't control her? What if we haven't bonded yet? I'm not her Alpha yet at this point. She could do some serious damage." Conner looked at his Alpha thoughtfully for a moment. "I mean I've never heard of something like this before Eth.. But let me at least look into it. I'll contact some of the other Alphas that have been around a while and see if any of them have any stories for me. In the meantime I trust you to know what's best. Bring her to the celebration tomorrow. She may like it."

Getting up from his seat Conner made his way towards the door and paused. "If she does have a wolf in her you know.. that's pretty fantastic. For a while there the rest of us worried about what would happen when she finally grew old and passed." Ethan growled softly at no one in particular. The lesser wolves couldn't even begin to hide their thoughts from him so he'd known what others had been thinking. He'd even known his Beta had held the same concern. But to hear the exclamation aloud made his stomach turn.

He hated that she had to go through such a tragic loss in order to hopefully find finality in her endless happiness. "Just go see what you can find out," he snapped a bit more pointedly than he had intended. His Beta shrugged and left the office, closing the door behind him. As if she'd known they'd just been talking about her, his phone vibrated in his pocket and pulling it out found that it was Sunny. Ethan smiled a bit at that. Even she couldn't resist the pull it seemed.

He answered her eagerly this time, calling her the small pet name he'd started referring to her by. "Hey there Sunshine. Miss me already?" Her laugh was a chorus that sang in his head as she scoffed at him playfully and retorted genuinely. "Well I mean I do, but that's not why I called. Just letting you know I made it back home safe like promised. Ended up making a few more stops than intended but it's fine. I'm here now." Ethan smiled more and sat down on his chair leaning back a moment as he thought over what his Beta had said. Tomorrow was a blood moon and one of their biggest lunar celebrations.

She'd be able to witness first hand as members of his pack took off at a dead run from their center into the woods, tearing off loose clothes as they shifted and ran and howled and played. Already partnered mates would find places to fuck and breed and other members of the pack would hunt and be free. He debated a moment whether it was really the best of ideas to introduce her to it so swiftly. For a brief second there was doubt but when she asked if he was still there his resolve returned as he focused once more on her. "Yeah sorry. I was just thinking about something. Hey. My pa.. erm.. family.. is having a bit of a party tomorrow night. I was wondering if you'd want to join me? As my ahh.. date?"

There was silence on the other end and he held his breath a moment as he waited for an answer. "You.. you really want to bring me? I mean I'd love to go but won't that be weird you taking me to see your family so soon?" Ethan couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped him. "Nah it'll be fine. How about I pick you up at five? It will take a few hours to get there.. the party starts around ten. I can introduce you to a few people." Another pause as she mulled it over in her mind. "Sure, sounds like fun. Any particular dress code?" Smiling, Ethan couldn't help but to think of her naked as she ran through those woods. He shook the thought from his mind. "Dress for the outdoors. And bring a swimsuit."

--

Sunny was beyond giddy at the thought of going to Ethan's to meet his family. She didn't know why she felt so happy being around him but she did. She was more than happy even. She was elated. There was at least six more hours of daylight left and after the abuse he'd put her through all weekend she decided to go out to be pampered a bit and again tomorrow to go to the spa before he picked her up. Phoning her beauty salon she called her specialist directly and checked to see if she might be available.

It was Monday so it was likely she might be. Sure enough Issa picked up and told her to get her ass on over there. Quickly she left and rode her bike to her choice salon, parking in their offered spots before stepping dreamily inside. Issa took one look at her and gave her a haughty look. "Aye Mama Mia someone's been a naughty girl. Let's hurry to your chair so you can dish m'kay!" Sunny laughed as she hugged one of her closest friends. Isabelle had been a person she'd been able to go to with regularity to suffer with her through her grief. She'd been her rock for the past year and she loved her dearly for it. It had been a while since they'd just hung out rather than her sitting in that chair.

Making a mental note to invite Issa out for drinks one night she let her friend pull her to the back where a padded chair was waiting along with a team of servicers. Champagne was poured and Sunny insisted that Issa share a drink with her. At least one. She felt as though there was much to celebrate. She sat down and they took her purse and set it on the side then immediately proceeded to lay into her. Issa began with her hair while two more girls began working on her hands, arms, feet, and calves. Her feet were placed into a bath and the girl at her hands began soaking her fingers to start on her nails. Issa spoke first and demanded answers. "Okay mama spill. What's his name? Where's he from? How do you know him? And you better not lie either. That flimsy scarf has done nothing to hide the hickies all over your neck. You're practically glowing with it! So tell."

The girls on the other side of her giggled at Issa and Sunny blushed a deep shade of red. "His name is Ethan. He was a contractor for Malcolm. I had intended to simply hire him for a job but it obviously turned into a lot more." Issa stopped what she was doing a moment and looked at Sunny. "Wait. You mean that sexy ass Architect that was featured in the Times? I remember yo- Malcolm being mentioned as one of his investors. See I'm not like you mi Amiga. I don't like my men old. But that man? I would ride him any day of the week."

Issa had already gone back to her hair. The dye and bleach and other supplies had already been laid out and set up. She'd told Issa she wanted something.. hot.. and let her friend figure out where she wanted to go with that. Her normally brown and frosted hair was separated into layers and Issa began putting the colors she wanted where she wanted. Sunny blushed darkly at her words, but she couldn't stop the smile that had spread on her lips. Sunny agreed wholeheartedly that the man was sexy as hell. He exuded confidence and he fucked like an animal. It had been exhilarating to say the least. Her cheeks flushed and burned as she sat there while the other women treated her and the corners of Issa's mouth curled upwards slyly.

"Someone is thinking about him right now hmm?" All Sunny could do was laugh at that. She was definitely guilty. When all of her hair had been painted and foiled in various stages of color Issa moved to her face and began primping her there. Eyebrows were waxed first before a hot towel was placed on her face and left there until it became temperate. Then a cold cream mask was applied complete with the whole cucumber thing over her eyes.

What most people didn't know was it wasn't actually the cucumbers themselves that did all the work though there were added benefits to using them. It was what they were soaked in that helped recede bags and leave a more youthful appearance. At least that's what she'd been told. Whether it was true or not she was sure was debatable but it seemed to do wonders for her. Her arms and legs were worked on one at a time, first lotioned and oiled and massaged until they were tingling. Then her cuticles were trimmed and her natural nails filed before they began the process of painting them with Issa's selection of gel polish.

By the time all was said and done Sunny was starting to feel more than a little relaxed. She was sure as soon as she left Issa would be googling Ethan so she could show the other two. Issa finally let her look completely and more closely as she finished setting her long strands to right after tightly curling the ends in large ringlets. Standing in front of the mirror Sunny looked herself over and bit her bottom lip. This was sure to catch his attention. Her hair had been layered with strands of color, a rich brown along with a deep and unnatural crimson, highlighted and frosted in between. It was beautiful. She shook her head this way and that and smiled, drawing up her nails for a closer inspection.

The color she'd chosen was a red that seemed to match the brilliant shade of it in her hair. She smiled again and swung around, throwing her arms around her friend. "I'm meeting him again tomorrow night. I can hardly wait now." Issa squeezed her friend close and put all her jokes and dirty talk aside for a moment. "I am so, happy for you mija. Truly." When she left the parlor many of the shops were still open. Ethan had told her to dress for the outdoors and to bring a swimsuit. It had been a long time since she wore anything new. To be fair it had been a long time since she'd had the need for a swimsuit. So she headed towards some of the shops to buy a few things. Happy to be back on Broadway she mingled in those Seattle streets and had fun looking for things to wear.

Ethan was a little too eager to bring Sunny here to his home. He rushed through business so he could take some time to shower and primp his hair and beard before he went to get dressed. Throwing on a dark pair of jeans he paired it with a simple white t-shirt and a pair of work boots. Everything fit him well. Not too loose without being too tight either. It showed off the tattoos on his arms and neck and his silver hair and beard were trimmed and smoothed and styled to utter perfection. He was going to have fun bringing her here. Around noon he got himself on the road and by four thirty he'd arrived at her house.

He buzzed the gate and let himself be known before it was opened and he pulled into the garage where he'd kissed her for the second time. What he was greeted with in the foyer once he was let inside though... well it was stunning. Sunny had dressed in a pair of tight fitting, grey capri leggings with a darker grey halter top on that flowed light and loose enough that it barely covered her rump. The halter tied around the back of her neck along with the strings of her bikini and fitted her nicely, emphasizing all her curves. She wasn't exactly a slight woman but she was still quite petite and he enjoyed how he could curl her up against his body until he could more or less encompass her with his frame. She'd obviously gone out of her way to redefine her appearance though and it wasn't lost on him. The natural makeup.

The way she'd colored her hair and nails. And on her feet a pair of extremely comfortable looking black sandals that looked ideal for hiking in.

She'd taken his words to heart and she looked marvelous for it. She smiled and did a small spin and he was happy to see how the top dipped low along her back to expertly show the tattoo she'd gotten there. It had been sort of a dirty joke between her and Malcolm and he had to admit that it was quite funny. On her back was a Persian cat laid out with her belly exposed. She laid amidst the grass and soft petals and broken bunches of cherry blossoms from the presence of an imagined tree. The feline lounged and curled starting from the middle of her back down to the lower left, and above on her right shoulder awaited the body of a rat. On her left shoulder read the line, "Why did the rat chase the cat," and along her lower back on the right, hidden beneath the shirt she wore lay the answer, "so he could get some pussy."

Smiling Ethan gathered her in his arms and leaned down to wrap her lips up in a kiss. He could taste the tinted chapstick on them but when his tongue delved into her mouth that flavor was lost and all he found was her. After a moment like that he finally broke away and smiled down at her. "You ready?" he asked, to which she replied she was, and he wrapped an arm warmly around her as he took the small duffle she was carrying from her hands and led her to his truck. Once inside his hand immediately snuck into the side of her shirt, and he fondled her breast through the tiny swimsuit top she seemed to be wearing as he began the journey with her to his packhouse. She was in for a long ride. Along the way he expertly manipulated her into several orgasms and at a couple of points she even squeezed in closer to him so she could give him head as he drove. It was wonderful.

Nothing seemed to quell the primal urges the two of them had and he relished every moment of it. They only stopped a few times so she could go pee and so he could buy her a light dinner before they eventually began their descent through the wooded roads of Snoqualmie before finally turning off the beaten path and into the woods themselves. He could hear her heartbeat quicken as she realized how deeply they were going until a small clearing developed and in the center lay a cabin that looked to be some kind of central office. He pulled his fingers free of her after stopping the car and licked them clean before he parked and shut down. Her cheeks turned the most gorgeous shade of red as she looked towards the entrance and saw his Beta standing outside and waving in greeting.

Ethan grinned deviously at the thought of making her blush and squirm more in front of members of his pack. Tonight the children would be watched in rotation while those old enough to partake spent the night in the wilderness. Normally a wolf came of age around eighteen or so. There were of course late bloomers, but wolves were always born with it in them from the start. The fact that Sunny had been born a wolf without ever knowing had baffled him and his Beta. Late bloomer aside she was thirty seven for crying out loud. At most a wolf may lie dormant until around twenty one or so. He shook his thoughts quickly and exited the vehicle then strode over to her side to help her out. "Sunshine this is my Be- brother Conner. Conner, meet Sunny."

Conner beamed and lunged at her, embracing her tightly as he easily lifted her from the ground a moment. Chuckling aloud, Ethan growled mentally to his Beta, 'Be somewhat easy on her my friend. She's in for a long night I think.' But Conner couldn't keep the shit eating grin from his face. 'Hot damn Eth.. I mean.. just damn.' Quickly placing her back on her feet Conner held her out at arms length. "Eth just can't stop talking about you ya know. His words didn't quite seem to do you justice though I'm afraid. I don't believe many words would have to be fair. Welcome. We're happy to have you here." Ethan smirked as Sunny stammered a moment, fidgeting in his grasp. "H-hullo.. I fear the last time Ethan and I were together we uh.. well we didn't do too much talking."

Ethan let out a short laugh at her response and grinned at her somewhat sheepish smile. Conner didn't miss a beat and gave her a knowing glance and chuckle. "Oh I can about imagine." Sunny practically blushed from head to toe and glanced away a bit shyly, and Conner sent the thought to Ethan as he turned her over back to his protective arms. 'She's a doll Eth. Seriously. I can't get enough. I can't wait to see the look on her face later. She's in for a real treat.' Ethan smiled and retorted back his agreement as he lightly rubbed her shoulder and hugged her possessively in his arms.

Someday hopefully soon he'd be able to claim her fully and make her completely his. After a moment longer he finally pulled away and gestured for them to start the tour, and the two led Sunny through trails and paths that winded through the woods, showing her the brightly colored markers the led to different places. At first they passed intermittent cabins of varying size that he told her housed the different members of his family along with their immediate families. She was introduced to members along the way, all of them more than friendly and she responded in kind. His pack congratulated him mentally, and overall there was a pleasant response from them towards her as they progressed through their otherwise small village. In the center of it all was a much larger and more expansive cabin.

The bottom floor held a dance hall and a massive kitchen where preparations were already underway for tonight's festivities while the upstairs looked to be a private dwelling. Couples and loners alike shared in the duties of setting up the bonfire and making the nights delicacies that everyone was to share in. Children played and ran along the paths and through the woods as if they all knew the place well, all of them running fast to their homes so they could be tucked into bed. Eventually, the night started and she was welcomed inside with open arms where people fed her and smoked with her and asked her questions to get to know her.

Ethan grinned broadly as she seemed to take it all in stride, taste testing dishes and new and improved strains that the pack had been working on. He hadn't shown her the fields yet. He figured one step at a time for now. And right now he intended on introducing her to something else entirely. As the night progressed people began mingling outside, walking down pathways or into the trees themselves as layers of clothing were slowly stripped away. He watched her as he sat with her on a bench that seemed to be carved from the massive trunk of a tree and she glanced around curiously as folks began stripping themselves nude.

And then, as if on cue, Conner came into view, buck ass naked as the day he was born, turning the corner somewhat towards them as his body began to change until he was on all fours in the form of a magnificent tawny wolf. He watched her gasp in amazement as the wolf glanced their way as though grinning from ear to ear before trotting off into the woods and then breaking out into a run. One by one all around her more people changed and left, darting past trees as they followed suit and began to run as well. The whole time he watched her carefully, trying to prepared mentally for whatever reaction she might have. The one reaction she did have though he was not quite sure he'd anticipated.

--

Staring hard at the last wolf that ran off into the woods Sunny froze for a moment as she tried to think clearly on what it was she was seeing. Suddenly it all made sense. The way she felt. His animalistic charm. The primal need she had around him. She'd read and written many stories online and some of her favorites involved dicks like the dildo he'd used on her their first time together. Her eyes grew wide as all her fantasies came crashing in around her. She turned to face him, exhaling the breath she'd been holding as she'd watched and she whispered to him huskily, "Can you do that too?" She could see him trying to judge where she was going with this as he slowly nodded his head and let out a gruff "Yes."
